New York Rangers forward Mike Rupp received 14 penalty minutes, including a 10-minute misconduct, during the third period of Game 4 on Monday night for roughing up Martin Brodeur.
That resulted in Rangers coach John Tortorella and Devils coach Pete DeBoer moving from their designated spots behind the bench to scream at each other.
Here's how it all went down...
Playoff hockey!
Maybe it's just me, but I find coaches screaming at each other on the bench to be way more entertaining than players physically fighting on the ice.
The two coaches had a brief back-and-forth through the media over the weekend when Tortorella accused the Devils of some dirty play and embellishment, an accusation that DeBoer described as "comical."
It's a safe bet the language during that exchange was a little more colorful.
